Considering that this year was not spectacular you could make a legit case that with the right coach they are the team to beat in the East. They do not lack talent, the only question is whether or not the new coaches offensive schemes match the personnel.

With that said I disagree that Mullen is the best choice simply because right now they do not seem to have the personnel to run the same offense they had been running. If they did Meyer would have won more games this year.

It's pretty rare to have a coach hit the ground running. Meyer is one of the few coaches I've ever seen do that in recent memory.

If you take a list of the top coaches and their performances in their first year, this is what you get:

Nick Saban [LSU]: 8-4
Nick Saban [Bama]: 6-6
Bob Stoops [OU]: 7-5
Pete Carroll [USC]: 6-6
Jim Tressel [OSU]: 7-5
Urban Meyer: [UF]: 9-3
Bobby Petrino: [Ark]: 5-7
:nb4bobbypetrinoisnotelitecoach:
Les Miles [LSU]: 11-2
Steve Spurrier [UF]: 9-2
Mack Brown [UT]: 9-3
Mack Brown [UNC]: 1-10
Chip Kelly [UO]: 10-3
Jim Harbaugh [Stanford]: 4-7
Frank Beamer [VaTech]: 2-9
